[QUOTE="Delta2, post: 6030576, member: 189563"] you mean which is correct ##\dot{\vec{x}}## or ##\vec{\dot{x}}##? I think the first one... But it is a matter of convention, usually in the book or the paper there will be some footnote or appendix that explains the conventions in symbols. Anyway, I think dot notation for derivatives is used usually with scalar quantities, not with vector ones. [/QUOTE]
